1. If one of the following modes is used for positioning:
–Directoperation
– Individual record operation
– Record linking operation
– Interpolated positioning mode
2. If one of the following motor encoders is used:
– Single-turn absolute encoder (CMMS -AS/CMMD-A S ):
After each Power ON/Controller restar t (FCT)
– Multi-turn absolute enco der (CMMS-AS/ CMMD-AS):
On initial start-up or after replacing the motor
– Incremental encoder (CMMS-ST):
After each Power ON/Controller restar t (FCT)
3. If the axis has been parameterised in the Festo Configuration Tool ( FCT) with a limited working
stroke (linear)/positioning range ( rotative).
